It just sickens me how people on here think it's okay to talk shit about America and what it does on this day. I don't expect you guys to feel bad for us. But I do expect some goddamn respect for the people who died on this day. In fact on any day in which a terrible tragedy occurs, whether or not it happens to be in America.
I never said I didn't care for my fellow man, American or not. My problem with 9/11 is that it overshadows other equally tragic events.TheTim said:Doesn't matter if it was a joke or not, that kind of shit isn't meant or for this thread on this day.
Remember the London bombings? Yeah, you don't. In fact, nobody here seems to remember them. Not even the fucking media.
What about the Romanian revolution? Hundreds of people died then so it was just as much of a tragedy as 9/11 but I don't see people commemorating it when December rolls its fat ass around.
Tragedies happen in Africa every single day but nobody seems to give a flying fuck about the people dying there. In fact, the only holiday about Africa focuses on the formation of the OAU.
Before you tout 9/11 as the end all, be all of tragedies at the very least have the decency to commemorate those other people worldwide who died and are currently dying in events much more tragic then 9/11.
